(Reuters) - U.S.
Democratic Representative Barney Frank wed his longtime partner, James
Ready, on Saturday, becoming the first sitting congressman to enter into
a same-sex marriage.

| Congratulations to the blushing bride! |
Massachusetts Governor Deval
Patrick officiated the ceremony and added some levity by saying Frank,
72, and Ready, 42, had vowed to love each other through Democratic and
Republican administrations alike, and even through appearances on Fox
News, according to Al Green, a Democratic congressman from Texas.
"Barney
was beaming," said Green, who attended the ceremony.
He added that
Frank, a champion of gay rights and the sweeping reform of Wall Street,
shed a tear during the ceremony.
After
exchanging their vows, Frank and Ready embraced each other, Green said.
"It was no different than any other wedding I've attended when you have
two people who are in love with each other," Green said.
